I think it went very well and we learned a lot from running it. We’ll almost certainly be running another one next year so stay tuned for details. Frank recored some content for the podcast so we’ll have that featured in our next episode.

Also recently we surpassed 3000 members on the meet up group. We’ve come a long way since our first meet up in a tea shop 4 years ago.

Only found out about 2nd Chance Con after I’d recorded the recent podcast so didn’t get to mention it.

Event Description

2nd Chance Con is a Charity Games Convention running in Dublin on 20th and 21st August 2016 in the Teachers Club on Parnell Square West. The Con will give you a second chance to play the games you missed from Ireland’s most talented games writers, as well as trying new and exciting experimental games.

They will have RPGs, Larps and Boardgames as well as a number of special events.

We’re having the Tuesday night meet ups at Alfie Byrne’s pub next to the conrad hotel and across the road from the National Concert Hall. We’ve been using this location for the Sunday meet ups and it’s far more suitable for us. It also has plenty of good food and drink.

A whole day dedicated to playing board games in a relaxed environment.
Players from all experiences are welcome.
If you wish you can bring you own games we are always open to playing new games of all types.

18+ only (unless children are accompanied)
Beer can be brought to the event
Snacks will be available for sale
Free coffee!
